The Heart: The zio patch and bubbles in the heart




I am fully strapped with a Zio patch as you can.  Why the Zio?  Once again my heart is playing tricks on me.  It simply refuses to stay in rhythm.  I don't help it out so much though.  I refuse to follow the doctors orders and stay on top of my health.  Sometimes I don't know what my problem is.  I want to get better, but sometimes that is all I do is want and wish.  Wanting and wishing is not an actionable item.

I think it is time to start getting serious about getting serious.   The problem isn't having a plan, the problem is actually actioning the plan.  I have people helping me and telling me the right things to do.  Right things of course being very subjective thing.  However, it doesn't matter what is right or wrong when you don't want to do anything but eat the foods you want in the quantities you want.

I don't know, I am going to start rambling here.  I am doing better, much better on the food front 80% of the time.  Its that other 20% that gets me.  It's all right, it's ok.  I am working on figuring it.  I am really trying to listen to my body and see what it needs.  Spinach and baby lettuce intake is up 150% in the last two weeks. I actually want to eat greens and lots of them.  I am trying to eat lower in carbs but still get some carbs in there.

So besides the patch yesterday, I also got an echocardiogram.  You know they took a sonogram of the ticker.  However, they had a hard time seeing my heart.  It could be my huge boobs.  I do have some melons but more likely I think it was my heart not being so good. I am trying to be positive, but it is hard for me to do some times.  So, anyway the shot my heart up with bubbles to get a better contrast. I really hope the pictures worked and my ticker is ok.  The really good news is that I got an IV without fainting.  That is pretty amazing for me.  I couldn't believe it.  I will take that in the win column for Billy b.

Every day being my size and having my issues is a struggle.  However, everyday I get up and I keep fighting the good fight.  Each day I get a little better than before.  =)

The Escapement

Billy b at the book store…. Not the best selfie    The Escapement The Escapement is a Sci-fi novel by Lavie Tidhar.  It was the first book I read for a Sci-if book club I joined here in Bloomington.  However, I am not here to talk about the novel or review it.  I think it was worth a read, but that is something for you to decide for yourself.  No I am here to talk about the fact that I left the house and went out to a book club.   The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome or something like that.   Truth, I can’t continue to sit on my couch every night and expect for my life to be anything other than ordinary.  Unless, I am really lucky and guessing from the Mega Millions drawing last night I am not.  As someone one almost a billion dollars and I won four, so a beautiful bride and a bunch of friends aren’t just going to come knocking on my door as I watch another Superman TV show or reruns of Archer.  Also, the more I sit on

Back Home Again....

Image
  I am back home again in Indiana.  When I say I am back home again, I mean it!  I am currently living in my Mom's basement.  48 and living in Mom's basement, isn't that the dream?  Maybe if you are a serial killer.  Actually, I tease.  I always have a nice time with my Mom.  Here place is super nice and Kona and have been very welcomed guests. The Trip back across the country wasn't awful.  It had some moments that weren't so great like when we got hit by a giant cone that semi crushed.  However, overall it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  Things really happened at warp speed at the end.  I am not sure where the time went.  The move was moved up by a day because of weather issues.  So, when I picked my good buddy Chip up at the airport in Oakland on the 19th we just started the journey back across the country.   Leg 1 of the journey we went from Livermore to Reno.  So, we loaded up the Dodge Durango (which was a rental) with Kona and headed out.  It was

Settling in….

I can’t believe how long it has been since I sat down to write.  I have thought about it, but then I think what I have to say is foolish and I step away from it.  Like anyone wants to read a blog about my new nice rack.  Living back in Indiana is going great.  I think I am really close to hitting my stride.  Kona as you can see above is doing really well.  That was a picture from her last walk with her new Dog walker Basil.  Yes, her name is Basil.  Not sure if her parents were hippies, yuppies, or chefs, but I am sure it has to be one of the three.  She is no Ross, or at least not yet.  Kona seems to go back and forth between parking at her and seeing her as a new playmate.  I like Basil because she is an accounting major at IU, and being a former accounting major myself I know we are good people.  Kona has loved the season changes.  She loves snow.  That crazy dog will just go outside in it and shove her face straight in it.  She spends most of her days in the backyard.  I go out the
